In nineteen years’ practice as the only doctor in the tiny western New South Wales town of Collarenebri, he has formulated radical treatments to combat the alarming health problems of the district’s Aboriginal population. This dramatised version of his life stars Henry Szeps, Robin Nevin and Peter Cummins.
